In a forgotten colony marooned on a hostile planet, a brother and sister search for a means of escape.
Hopelessly off course, the crew of the dying colony ship Peregrine have no option but to make emergency landfall on C380-97346-4. This desolate planet is a barren, rocky supergiant where the few survivors struggle to subsist from moment to moment, but somehow they manage to gain a foothold and establish a settlement.
Nearly two hundred years later, the survivors are close to breaking point, unable to escape the planet's gravity well, with factional power struggles threatening to erupt into civil war and resources growing scarce. When Erin abandons her research position, her family and friends seemingly on a whim, her brother Maxim deserts from the military police to track her down. The siblings' journey takes them to the Great Chain, the island colony founded on the wreckage left hanging in the sky from the disaster two centuries before. A secret has been uncovered people will kill to protect; Erin confronts some hard truths about trust and dedication; Maxim questions what drives him to bring his sister back home.
A dark, character-driven space opera about hope in the face of adversity and the nature of sacrifice.
